Alienware X51 gaming PC running on Ubuntu, retails for only $600

Linux has started picking up a lot of lost ground since Epic and Valve threw their support behind the popular operating system. Now Alienware is hoping to capitalize on that trend, offering a relatively cheap gaming alternative.

Alienware introduced the ‘Alienware X51’ today, a new PC which runs with Ubuntu. Interested customers can pick up an X51 with either a Core i3, Core i5 or Core i7 processor. These options can be upgraded to 8GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. You can also choose between a NVIDIA GeForce GT545 or a GTX 555 card (Linux-friendly drivers from NVIDI included).
